Runtime Aware PR Review: Validate Changes in Live Production

Runtime PR review means validating a code change against live variable state, real execution paths, and downstream service behavior before the merge decision. Not after a checkout regression exposes what the diff missed. As AI coding agents ship PRs faster than any reviewer can mentally simulate execution, static analysis and CI leave a structural gap that only runtime evidence can close. This article explains what that gap looks like, why it recurs, and how to close it with runtime context code review.

Cloud Cost Optimization: 20 Strategies for Enterprises

Overview of AI Evaluation (The Context Window #05)

Can you actually trust an AI agent? In this pre-recorded episode of The Context Window, Nicole van der Hoeven sits down with Yas Ekinci, an engineer on the Grafana AI team, to talk about evals — how Grafana measures the quality and reliability of the AI it ships. They get into the difference between online and offline evals, why reviewing AI-generated code has become the real bottleneck, the "final answer problem" of plausible-but-wrong outputs, and o11y-bench, Grafana's open benchmark for observability agents. Along the way.

High Cardinality in ClickHouse at Scale: What Actually Breaks

ClickHouse swallows high-cardinality telemetry at ingest, then breaks at query time weeks later. Here is what fails, and how we keep it fast in production. Prathamesh works as an evangelist at Last9, runs SRE stories - where SRE and DevOps folks share their stories, and maintains o11y.wiki - a glossary of all terms related to observability.
